summer skin careSummer is here—and so is the season of skin confidence. If you’re looking to refresh your complexion, minimize pores, or soften fine lines, microneedling might be the answer. This minimally invasive treatment is safe, effective, and offers beautiful, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

👉 Book a consultation with Dr. Jeremy Udkoff, our cosmetic dermatologist at Mt. Lebanon Dermatology, to explore whether microneedling is the right option for your summer skincare goals.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses tiny, controlled punctures to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. This boosts collagen and elastin production, helping you achieve firmer, smoother skin over time.

It’s commonly used to treat:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Large pores
  • Uneven texture
  • Stretch marks

It’s also a great way to enhance the absorption of serums and growth factors during and after treatment.

Is Microneedling Safe During Summer?

Yes—with a few important precautions. Microneedling is safe year-round, but summer sun requires some extra care.

Here’s what you need to know:

✔️ Avoid sun exposure for at least 7–10 days after treatment
✔️ Use a mineral-based sunscreen daily (SPF 30 or higher)
✔️ Expect mild redness for 1–3 days (like a sunburn)
✔️ Skip makeup and sweating for 24–48 hours post-treatment

Dr. Udkoff may recommend scheduling sessions earlier in the season to allow time for healing before major vacations or events.
